History
Summarize
Perspective
SQream is the first product from SQream Technologies Ltd, a company founded in 2010 by Ami Gal and Kostya Varakin in Tel Aviv, Israel.[4]
SQream was first released in 2014[5] after a partnership with an Orange S.A. in Silicon Valley.[6][7] The firm claimed Orange S.A. saved $6 million by using SQream in 2014.[8][9] SQream is aimed at the budget multi-terabyte analytics market, due to its modest hardware requirements and use of compression.[10]
SQream is also the basis for a product named GenomeStack, for querying many DNA sequences simultaneously.[11][12] A US$7.4M investment of venture capital was announced in June 2015.[13] It is an example of general-purpose computing on graphics processing units, alongside OmniSci and Kinetica.[14]
The firm applied for patents, encompassing parallel execution queries on multi-core processors and speeding up parallel execution on vector processors.[15][16][17]
In February 2018, SQream Technologies partnered with Alibaba Group's division Alibaba Cloud to deliver a GPU database service on Alibaba Cloud.[18]
In December 2021, SQream announced that it had acquired no-code data platform Panoply for an undisclosed sum, as part of the push to grow its cloud computing offering.[19]
Software and features
The column-oriented database SQream platform was designed to manage large, fast-growing volumes of data, for compute-intensive queries. The product claims to improve query performance for very large datasets, over traditional relational database systems.
SQream is designed to run on premise or in the public cloud.[20]
